I deleted my Instagram in mid-November (because of the *gestures broadly*) and everything that article says about the inconvenience of it rings true, some of it echoes exact thoughts I’ve shared with friends over catch-up lunches. I’ve gotten last minute invites I can’t make because they realized too late I didn’t know, but it feels special when people do remember to take a little extra step to include me when they realize it. I’ve self-selected myself out of the way people currently interact, and so it’s my responsibility to make up for that by being a overly-inquisitive and proactively asking: hey, is there anything going on this week? I’d been nearly 9 months and I’m still building that muscle.
